Better but too much like a C6. Not evolutionary enough.

Yeah, I just read that Corvette engineers are reportedly working on a low cost C7 for 2015 that will be powered by a version of the all alluminum, direct injection 5.3L V-8 that will debut in the new trucks. It will be sold only as a hardtop and badged Corvette Coupe, will have less than 400hp, and changes to the front facia, front fender, and rear diffuser to visually differentiate it from the Stingray. So, the Stingray is the base Corvette for now but that will change.

Less than 400hp? Sheesh. Might as well drop a V6 in it.
